Product Overview
Ziapro-P is a pediatric-friendly ibuprofen and paracetamol suspension formulated to provide fast, effective relief from fever, body pain, headache, toothache, sore throat, ear pain, and post-vaccination discomfort in children.
Fever and pain are among the most common reasons parents seek medical care for their children. Viral infections, teething, vaccination reactions, throat infections, and minor injuries often lead to high temperature, irritability, reduced appetite, and disturbed sleep. When not managed appropriately, these symptoms can impact hydration, nutrition, and recovery.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), fever is a protective response but must be treated when it causes discomfort, dehydration, or behavioral changes.

The combination of ibuprofen and paracetamol suspension works through two different mechanisms, giving better control of fever and pain than either drug alone — when used responsibly under medical advice.
Key Highlights
Dual-action ibuprofen and paracetamol suspension
Reduces fever, pain, swelling & inflammation
Helpful in viral fever, cold, sore throat, earache & teething pain
Faster relief than single-ingredient syrups
Pleasant taste for better compliance in children
Manufactured under strict pediatric safety standards
Why Combination Therapy Works Better in Children
Paracetamol and ibuprofen belong to different pharmacological classes:
| Component | Primary Action |
|---|---|
| Paracetamol | Central fever & pain control |
| Ibuprofen | Anti-inflammatory + peripheral pain relief |
This means ibuprofen and paracetamol suspension works on both the brain and inflamed tissues, ensuring more complete symptom control.
The NIH confirms that alternating or combining paracetamol and ibuprofen provides superior fever management in children compared to monotherapy.

How Ibuprofen and Paracetamol Suspension Works
1. Paracetamol – Fever & Pain Control
Paracetamol acts centrally in the brain to:
Lower raised body temperature
Reduce pain perception
It inhibits prostaglandin synthesis in the hypothalamus — the temperature regulation center.

2. Ibuprofen – Anti-Inflammatory Action
Ibuprofen blocks cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes responsible for producing inflammatory prostaglandins.
This results in:
Reduced inflammation
Decreased swelling
Peripheral pain control

Faster fever reduction
Longer duration of pain relief
Better comfort during infections and vaccinations
